COLONIE, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Passengers have been identified and charges have been given after several crews responded to a tavern late Friday night for a reported car accident and fire.

Colonie Police confirmed the incidents took place at the Blessings Tavern on 1116 Watervliet-Shaker Road in Colonie at around 11:04pm.

Carr then hit a pick up truck and another BMW which were both parked next to the building.

The force of the crash sent the 2006 BMW underneath the pickup truck and both vehicles went through the wall of Blessing’s, bursting into flames.

The vehicle driven by Carr burst into flames and burned against the outside of the building. Both the driver, 18-year-old Michael Carr of Colonie, and the 16-year-old passenger Nico Dinovo were able to escape the burning vehicle.
